      Cattle farmers making things worse for everyone. Episode 782.

      Great news for English farmers I wish our government in NI could take this on board. Closed herd no neighbours with cattle, still getting TB. TB also kills thousands of badger painfully and needs to be controlled in their population too

      Terrible news, I really did hope the change in government last year would put a stop to this. They’ll will never get on top of bTB all the while they are still making scapegoats out of badgers. They could kill every single last badger out there and the farmers and their cattle would still be suffering the effects of bTB

      Yep ,just watch the way those cute badgers decimate nearly all ground nesting birds nests,even swimming to islands or isolated areas to take eggs,hedgehoglets ( babies) ,and the remaining ground based mammals/ invertebrate and insects too .Ever seen a bumble bee nest ( under ground) get ripped apart by a badger? They dig up the lot , completely, these guys are not the cute guys we believe they are, and an unrealistic ban plus no predators has made them an over populated menace .
      If you live in a city or town ffs stay there,you know nothing of the countryside or how it really works,any farmer will say he wants healthy badgers not TB infested mutants ( yes badgers get TB too !) ever seen a badger with TB ? its a long slow death and over populated areas ( with badgers)often experience the most suffering as a result.

      Yeah, fuck science!

      *Supplementary culls set to begin in nine areas from Sunday and 10 areas from September*

      *Natural England’s director of science Dr Peter Brotherton recommended to his own officials that no supplementary culls be carried out this year, saying there was “no justification” for more culling. “Recent progress also gives further confidence that badger vaccination is a practical alternative to badger culling, supported by cattle-based measures,” he wrote.*

      *Nigel Palmer, chief executive of the Badger Trust, said 95 per cent of bTB transmission was cattle to cattle.*

      *In its manifesto, Labour promised to end what it dubbed the “ineffective” badger cull.*

      Labour spoke both ways in the lead up to the election – manifesto – end the ineffective cull – but then days before poll – will continue this ineffective cull until 2026… [https://www.badgertrust.org.uk/post/confusion-and-disappointment-as-labour-now-say-they-will-not-end-the-badger-cull-immediately](https://www.badgertrust.org.uk/post/confusion-and-disappointment-as-labour-now-say-they-will-not-end-the-badger-cull-immediately) now being expanded.

      *The key word in the Labour manifesto about the badger cull was that it was ‘ineffective’. Yet Steve Reed, Shadow Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, recently said on Radio 4’s Farming Today that if Labour were to get into power on the 4th July election, they would continue to allow the pre-existing cull licences. These licences can run until 2026 — so Labour will be signing off on further badger killing and committing taxpayers to paying for the “ineffective” culling of badgers for a further year and a half.*

      The UK continues its war against science and logic by following America’s lead in the abandonment of science

      Is anyone surprised? The goverment always ignores science.

      **Fact:** The spread of Bovine TB has been scientifically shown in double-blind studies over a period of years to have fuck all todo with badgers – its poor contamination control (fecal management, etc) by farmers (thanks Brian May for funding much needed independant research out of your own back pocket.)

      **Also Fact:** That same research has been backed up with multiple willing test case farms who took on the scientists recommendations and managed to eliminate TB entirely without touching the badger population.

      **Additional Fact:** The statistically significant evidence was packaged together along with real-world examples and presented to government.

      **Conclusion:** We’re living in an idiocracy who have had enough of experts. Let’s carry on living in the 14th century with mythological thinking where everyone breathes in conspiracy theories, religious ideologies, and “alternative truths”.
